What's so sad is how easily even the most moral, committed Repubs and conservatives give up individual freedoms (dictated by markets, not by legislation) without a passing thought.
Freedom is won with blood, and lost by legislation. I'd prefer to put a hiatus on both.
Now, about this..... I don't like red heads
Details! When you get the chance, of course. G'nite Gabz.
Ditto!
I may have slightly misstated my position, particularly in the context of the Middle East: our Brave who defend our freedom to make overreaching and stupid decisions in the conduct of a "free" democratic (small D) government are making incredible sacrifices, though they shouldn't HAVE to be doing so.
Enemies abound, and so do stupid decisions made by an otherwise free people.
Even in that case, your sovereignty comes first.
Yes, and the stewardesses all wore those tight short skirts, and you always figured you could score off them with just a little clever banter and a pat on the ass.
Yes, the sixties, those were the days.
Now who is like a dog?
I honestly feel sorry for them.
You're just jealous that none of them have started humping your leg.
Next?
LOL
It was a rhetorical example for them thar feeble minded liberal folks, dontcha know...
Cheers. Time for some shut eye.
Necessity is the mother of invention - a great niche market for them
A guy owns a bar and wants to let his clients to smoke........... Fine by me.
A restaurant......... same thing.
Let the market decide, not the government.
PS: The bride fido picture really just cracked me up.
Take care.
She is always bringing home tests to show how bad smoking has been to my body.
Each and every time, we take the tests together and compare the results.
Blood oxygen level? Me!
Lung volume? Me!
Two mile run? Me!
After 20 years of bitching, she finally gave up. I am so darn healthy that she simply could not keep up.
I have been smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day, for over 32 years now.
That is almost 1 million cigarettes!
As a pilot, I am required to have a physical every two years. It is amazing how healthy I am, even after smoking almost 1 million cigarettes.
Someone has been lying to the American public. Why?
Same here, that was one funny picture!
My wife is going to hate me in the morning, but can you guess what I am going to print?
LOL!!!
Oh, okay then. G'night Cobra! Thanks for a fun thread.
No not lying, some people just beat the odds. Consider yourself lucky, doubly so for having a wife that sticks to you as she does!
Congratulations, H.
Somewhere in your heart of hearts, or Deep Personal Objectivity, you realize you've beaten the odds. There is plenty of empirical data out there.
BUT SO WHAT? You're still a free-thinking American, responsible for the decisions you have made, and subject to them.
Life is too short to make others' lives longer under dubious moral means. I, for one, wish you a long, healthy, and happy life.
God Bless,
